let me know what you guys think?
It's kind of like you mated Sylvan Plug with 12 post. I like it. My only issue is the birds and deadrite are good with natural order, but is 7 natural order targets enough? You have enough fetches that Titania might also be really good. :0) You can natural order a token I believe? It's green.
I think it has enough targets to use with natural order between fetch lands and GSZ. I haven't tried Titania but for one more generic mana I would think Titan is better, having deathrite is awesome and won a game with arbor and deathrite beats , but had trinisphere in play lol that always helps

..and watch out for them sideboarded Ruinations out of miracles... I personally got knocked out in round 9 of 9, had a blast!

^ great job!
Just want to clarify something. You can cast Primeval titan with two Cloudpost and a Cavern(producing two green) via Candelabra right?
Yep. Tap cloudposts and cavern for 4G, go to 1G to candelabra, untapping your three lands, then add another 4G going to 5GG and cast primeval titan.
@Maagler
Nice Result :)
i think you would won this Tournament:P You had some nice Match ups ;)
Some Questions:
1.Do you play Cavern of Soul in the Slot of Tabernalce or why you dont Play Tabernacle?
2.How works the Cavern of Soul for you?

Some interesting lists from the SCG Open. Looking at this list:
http://sales.starcitygames.com//deck...p?DeckID=78611
I have to seriously question the inclusion of Platinum Emperion. It turns off fetch lands, renders Glimmerposts useless and kills Glacial Chasm. Am I missing something? I mean, you can grab it with Eye of Ugin, I suppose, but by the time you have the mana to do that, you're rarely in survival mode anymore.
I guess there are those fringe situations where you've got 2 Cloudposts and a Glimmerpost in play and need to buy yourself a turn but, even in those cases, it seems like Platinum Angel would be better since you'd definitely be able to cast it and it'd still allow you to gain/pay life.
Cavern was MVP all day in the Jeski match-up. In three matches I got a feeling that they were holding a Force for Titan, so I would sneak an Expedition Map in there to get the Cavern. Turned out that every time they would have the Force in hand at the end of the game.
I don't like missing the land drop with tabernacle. Thats the main reason I don't run it.
As a former MUD player, Platinum Emperion makes ANT go...umm...how do I win? They need krosan grip and/or chain of Vapor to win. The key is living long enough to make it happen. It also brick walls burn, assuming they don't have smash to smithereens.
Congrats on the 7-0, too bad life had to step in. I can't believe you played against Jeskai stoneblade so many times. In my 9 rounds, I believe I faced 9 different archetypes.
ANT, Dredge, TES, Burn, U/R Delver, Bant Deathblade, Grixis Control, Miracles, Omintell.
Just guessing here.
I've suggested Emperion several times before, and considering who that particular deck belongs to, it lends a lot of credence to the idea that Emperion is viable. The big difference between Emperion and Angel is the ability of other players to get rid of it. Double burn spells is manageable, if inconvenient. You can't even really go on the offensive with it, because now a player just needs something like a Delver with a Lightning Bolt backup to take it out. 8 toughness? Decks without Swords to Plowshares or Liliana of the Veil or Innocent Blood pretty much just have to enter the scoop phase. Artifact hate is a thing, but they were probably bringing that stuff in against you anyway, but you can also bring in countermagic and whatnot to back it up.
That having been said, I'll let him explain the choice for himself when he comes back :)
Yes, you probably need Candelabra if you're running a Cloudpost deck.
Can anyone explain how Platinum Emperion interacts with the upkeep cost of Glacial Chasm?
You can't pay life so you can't pay the cumulative upkeep cost of Glacial Chasm, correct?
Fools dig for water, corpses or gold
The ice in my teeth keep the Cristal cold
I be shoot'n lava around like an uzi
Watch me turn this glacier into a jacuzzi
I'm so hot people standing around me, just to stay warm
Castin' so many spells looks like I'm playin' Storm
I fuck all your creatures without any lotion
Skeet in yo face, Erratic Explosion
Every time you look I'm doing 2 to your dome!
So scoop up your cards and take your broke ass home
